Our Story
About MWS Homes

MWS Homes is a custom home builder based in Southwest Missouri, led by Mike Strange—a fourth-generation tradesman with decades of experience in construction. Mike’s journey began in California, working in concrete and land development on major public works projects. With a degree in Civil Engineering and a career that’s taken him from high-end residential builds in the Bay Area to complex structural projects in Brazil, Mike brings a rare combination of technical skill and creative vision to every home he builds.

Today, MWS Homes focuses exclusively on large, one-of-a-kind custom homes throughout Missouri. Each project reflects Mike’s belief that a house isn’t just a structure—it’s a personal statement, a lasting investment, and often a lifelong dream.

The MWS Homes Mission
To create exceptional custom homes that combine precision engineering, architectural creativity, and a client-focused approach. We’re committed to delivering homes that are not only stunning but built to last for generations—all while keeping costs transparent and fair.

The Values That Guide Us
What drives us, above all, is building exceptional homes the right way. Every project is built on solid principles that guarantee every step is done with skill, creativity, and the utmost respect for the people we build for. Turn to us for:
 
  • Craftsmanship. Every detail matters. We insist on quality engineering, flawless finishes, and homes that stand the test of time.
  • Ingenuity. We don’t shy away from complicated designs or challenging sites. From flush-ceiling basements to structurally unique layouts, we find solutions where others might see roadblocks.
  • A True Partnership. Building a home can be stressful. We make it as enjoyable as possible by keeping communication open, involving clients in decisions, and accommodating changes without unnecessary resistance.
  • Integrity. We operate on a cost-plus model and work hard to keep pricing competitive by negotiating with subcontractors and managing every stage of construction with transparency.

What We Build:
Projects of Exceptional Creativity

Our projects are typically high-end custom homes with distinctive architecture and demanding specifications. Whether it’s a sprawling rural estate, a lakefront retreat, or a multi-level home with complex structural requirements, we thrive on bringing ambitious ideas to life.

Recent projects have included, but not limited to:
  • Project requiring half a mile of utility infrastructure and a fully engineered 10-foot basement with no visible support beams.
  • Projects on engineered pads coordinated through county and city entities.
  • A C-shaped project built around an infinity pool, where the pool walls were engineered as structural supports for a five-car garage below.
  • Project using exposed structural timber framing.
